I believe our most authentic ideas come when we allow our bodies to return to their natural rhythm.

​

It was a beautiful, sunny weekday in San Francisco. I was recovering from a cold, lying in the soft sunshine in my backyard, when Rhythmyk seemingly blew into my lap. I couldn't pretend to be a tech bro that day, and for once, I wasn't trying to figure out what came next. I was just being.

​

But the story really begins long before that afternoon.

​

I come from a world of dedicated discipline: dance. Years of ballet and contemporary training gave me a deep relationship with music, movement, and rhythm. While that world could sometimes feel rigid, dance taught me something beautiful: the duality of strength and softness. How to be powerful and fluid. Disciplined and free. There was always a fire inside me that absolutely needed to dance.

​

At 22, I moved to New York City with two bags, a yoga teacher certification, and a dream. I spent the next decade working as a professional dancer, living out the dreams I'd carried since childhood. It was exhilarating, exhausting, beautiful, heartbreaking, and just about every emotion in between. Along the way, I began developing little rituals to keep myself grounded, connected, and feeling like me.

​

And like many dancers, I had a side hustle: fitness. I taught just about every method under the sun. Yoga, barre, Pilates, dance cardio, HIIT, personal training. You name it. Somewhere along the way, being a trainer stole my heart. I discovered that I loved connecting with people through movement in a way that wasn't about performing or proving anything. It was about helping people feel incredible in their own bodies. There was something so fulfilling about sharing energy, moving together, and watching people discover what they were capable of.

​

When I unexpectedly left my professional dance career, I kept teaching fitness for the same reason I'd started dancing in the first place. I just needed to move.

​

Eventually, I moved back to California to be closer to family. I wanted teaching to remain something I genuinely loved, rather than something I depended on to make a living. So, naturally, I got a full-time job in tech. For the first time in my adult life, I had a 9-to-5, and suddenly, I understood the lives of so many clients I'd spent years training.

​

In a strange way, stepping away from the performing arts cleansed my palate for life. My days were no longer consumed by auditions, rehearsals, or the constant pursuit of becoming the best dancer I could be. Life became simpler. I started prioritizing joy. But I also began noticing how easy it was to lose touch with myself in the monotony of work and everyday routines.

​

So I started creating little moments to come back to my body. Morning movement. Music. Strength. Breath. A little sweat. A little freedom. I became my own trainer, combining everything I'd learned over the years into practices that made me feel energized, strong, grounded, and genuinely excited to start my day. These became my morning rituals, what I now call Rhythmyk Rituals.

​

Eventually, the itch to return to the studio became impossible to ignore. But this time, I didn't want to teach someone else's method. I wanted to share my own. A fusion of movement practices rooted in rhythm, built from years of dance and fitness, and shaped by my own experience of finding balance after seasons of burnout and overuse. Practices that could build real strength and create physical results, while leaving room for play, expression, and connection. Movement that could challenge you without disconnecting you from yourself.

​

And that's how Rhythmyk began.

​

So, where am I now? I still have my 9-to-5 tech job. I still believe in the power of a good morning ritual. And I'm still learning, experimenting, moving, breathing, and evolving. But I've realized something along the way: Rhythmyk is my life's work.

​

It's not a single workout, a perfectly packaged fitness method, or a destination I've already reached. It's an evolving practice of coming back to ourselves through rhythm. Today, that means rhythm-driven movement, strength, breathwork, and somatic practices that help us feel connected to our bodies and fully present in our lives.

​

After years of pushing, performing, achieving, and occasionally burning myself out, I've become much more interested in what it means to feel genuinely well. Strong, but soft. Energized, but grounded. Disciplined, but free.

​

More than anything, I want to share the practices that make me feel alive. And hopefully, help you discover what makes you feel alive, too.
